Don't you people get it about private health care? Most of the people who need health care are over 65 years of age! They are on a "Universal Health Care System" called "MEDICARE". All government does is PAY the bill not PICK the Doctor like your private insurance! Ask you parents, grandparents, or an elderly close friend if you don't believe me.

Do the Math. It cost 1.45% of earned income from current workers for Medicare to cover the majority of people who need healthcare in our country. That translates to $145/$10,000 of gross earnings. If you make $10,000 monthly and are on private care you pay the $400/$10,000 private premium.
Last time I checked my premium it was $400/month. If your employer is kicking in then you pay part and they pay part and it's likely about that much or more. Last time I check $145 is less than $400; and even I we pay more than $145 is still less than $400.

If I were lucky enough to make $10,000 per month I'd still be ahead paying into a Universal System with a guarantee that I could at least get the care at a reasonable cost. And because I'm not 65 I just pay the $400/month in the unlikely event I might need the care. But guess what when I need it, those high priced insurance premiums I'm paying have clauses that will likely exclude my care if I need it in the event I have something really bad go wrong!!

If you've ever been on the receiving end of a denial you'd know what this is all about. Trust me it's not pleasant when you're facing a $14,000 hospital bill and your insurance company says you should have gotten pre-approval and you were unconscious. How do you do that?? And no I'm not talking about the movie, it happened to me too! It took over a year to get it finally paid by them and when you're sick it's not easy to go through. They count on that!

Here is the bottom line, from a financial standpoint. Even for the greedy guys! If it cost more in taxes to you and you applied a portion of those private premium dollars you currently pay toward a "Universal System" you'd still be ahead. Yeah, you'd pay more in taxes, but guess what, NO PRIVATE INSURANCE PREMIUM.

How is it less? You'd eliminate the "Overhead", for example:

• Executive Compensation (those high priced salaries to people who figure out how to deny your claims)
• Capital Gains for Shareholders living off your misery not to mention Stock Dividends to Shareholder
• Sales and Marketing expenses (you wouldn't need that since it's a government program)
• Travel and Entertainment expenses (why should we pay for their golf and trips to the Bahamas?), those really expensive Corporate Offices

Shall I go on??

As a result, you've eliminated that expensive "Overhead" and you've reduced your "overall" costs!! Therefore, the cost to the taxpayer overall goes DOWN not up! You finally get to PICK your own doctor, and if you want additional coverage, well you have money left over to do that too! Do the math!!! Then have a conversation about it!!
